Saif Ali Khan on the topic of star kids

Case in point, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan, the children of Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, are undeniably among the most popular celebrity offspring. However, in a recent interview, the actor from Dil Chahta Hai admitted that he isn't a fan of this type of attention.
During a conversation with Film Companion, Anupama Chopra brought up the widespread fascination with celebrity kids. In response, Saif Ali Khan expressed his sentiments.“The audience and people are so interested in star kids. They are constantly being photographed, constantly being followed. I mean tomorrow someone wants to make a movie with one of them it’s not rocket science. So, you have to decide why this attention and where it comes from.”
Saif Ali Khan expressed the widespread attention his son Taimur Ali Khan receives, saying, “Taimur was doing a taekwondo thing and people were photographing him and making reels. So we don’t want that kind of attention.”
Saif further said, “So we don’t make the star kid, the star kid is made. I mean we might make him biologically but what makes the star kid is the press and then the photographers and then the audience who perhaps quite innocently just want to see a star kid.”
Saif Ali Khan opens up about 'Adipurush'
After the big mythological movie Adipurush didn't do well and got into some controversy, the people involved in making it decided to keep a low profile. The writer-lyricist Manoj Muntashir Shukla was the only one who openly talked about the movie, its quality, and the criticism it got. But now, after several months, Saif Ali Khan, one of the actors, briefly talked about the movie's failure in a recent interview.
In the interview with Film Companion, Saif Ali Khan made it clear that he doesn't see himself as a superstar who can guarantee success for every project. He brought up his experience with the 2019 Western film Laal Kaptaan, directed by Navdeep Singh, which didn't do well at the box office. He jokingly said, “I’m not star enough to pull off anything.”
